I've got a used Bear Montana coming, and I'd like to refinish it in camo. It has some scratches on the handle, and I was wondering how to smooth them out. As long as the scratches are only in the surface finish, could I use fine grit sand paper or perhaps 000 steel wool, then smooth on super glue before painting? Going to use a base coat of flat black, some painters tape sections, then flat tan over it, peel the tape off, for a ASAT type camo. Can anyone spot any mistakes in my plan?
No responses makes me wonder how I've offended this forum.
I don't see why it wouldn't work. I have refinished a few bows, always sanded off all the old finish and put on new. If your are going to paint over it I wouldn't do a complete refinish job. I would try exactly what you said. Be sure and put up some pics when your are finished. Good luck, bet it will come out real nice.
There is a post on the Pow Wow titled Camo Job on the Cheap that did essentially what you are talking about. Give that a look. It came out very nice. I'd post the link but don't know how to do that.
Thanks!, found it.
Sounds like a plan that will work nicely. I'm with Jess, just clean up the scratches and put the paint on and yes post pics.
